Um, that is exactly what it means, you just went into a detailed explanation...

I <3 details...lol, could you edit your post and put my explanation in? What you are implying is that it will "repair itself instantly, which isn't right.

Edit: EUREKA! I HAVE FOUND AN IMMENSE SECRET!!! (if you guys already know this, than sit tight): You can change the difficulty for Skirmish by doing these steps when playing the match:1. Press "ESC"
2. Go to "Game"
3. Select your difficulty level.
(Note: BEWARE! Hard difficulty is exactly like it sounds: They WILL come at you with everything. I was attacked by 2 MonCals while at Space Station Level 3. Beware!)
